China officially unveils J-20S - Zaphod58 - 11-12-2024
The 2024 Zhuhai Airshow in China has seen the official unveiling of the J-35A for the PLAAF(they're also looking for a STOVL aircraft, possibly another variant of the J-35), as well as the world's first two seat LO aircraft in the J-20S. The J-20S was first seen in 2021 on a test flight. The aircraft at Zhuhai is a mock up however. According to Chinese sources, the S will have outstanding situational awareness, EW and tactical command and control capabilities, as well as combat coordination capabilities for a MUM-T mission. It will have limited ability to act as a small airborne early warning platform.
In addition to the J-35A and J-20S, both were displayed next to PL-10E and PL-15E air to air missiles. The PL-15E is an Active Radar Homing (ARH) missile, and was built with folding fins to allow for carriage in an internal weapons bay. It's believed to have a range of around 150 miles.
